Hey Mark! I'm also new here. ^^

Nice refuge from misc tbh. The latent sexual insecurity there... it is strong, "brah".

Hi guys!

...How did you get banned so quick?

[Savyna]

Hope everyone's 2014 is off to a great start. Every January I begin a post-holiday cut. One thing I'm doing differently this time, though, is avoiding protein drinks altogether and instead relying solely on actual food for my macros. Only a few days in, but I can already say that I'm not nearly as hungry as usual as solid food is keeping me satiated in a way protein powder never could. Now if only I could avoid the inevitable fatigue and irritability that results from calorie restriction. Oh caffeine, how I love you.

On a side note, my gym hasn't been nearly as packed with resolutioners as I expected.

Agreed about the protein shakes. I still supplement because sometimes I don't actually feel like eating as much (well actually sometimes I'm lazy and don't feel like eating and whatnot). Good luck with the fatigue. For me I find when I'm feeling too tired (and also really cold) I need to increase a little bit and that usually helps me feel less tired and fickle.

Were they possibly forgotten gifts? And nice one on ya cooking more for yourself. I've been cooking more vegetables to eat since usually I have more fruits than any veggies.

Possibly. I have a habit of keeping the boxes of kitchen appliances, and when an item isn't for daily/frequent use I then wash and repackage it. Something I picked up to maximize space by tucking things away in a pantry or closet until needed, but apparently it also gives me to opportunity to forget about them if not used in a while.

If you haven't learned to already, blanch your vegetables and try different ways of seasoning or sauteing them. It really brings out the flavor, and gives you more options when paring a seemingly boring vegetable with a main dish. I experimented with broccoli because even when you mess up, it's not really messed up. Getting more vegetables in your diet is good. Since cooking them more have you noticed a drop in cravings for surgery and fatty foods?

Since cutting down on sugar when I was younger (from being scared of my doctor saying I was gonna become a walking diseased person bc of my weight) I stopped having cravings/a taste for super sugery items. now and again I'll eat something a little sweet but if it's too sweet (for my liking) I just chuck it. In terms of fatty food I suppose so. Thanks for the tip on different ways on cooking veggies. My family is vegan so we always cooked vegetables, it's just that once I was in charge of cooking my food instead of my mother I wasn't as strict to eat more vegetables as she was. I'm fine with just steaming it without any seasoning and chewing it up. Usually I use what I'm eating the vegetables with as a seasoning. Works pretty well for me.

About the cravings, normally cravings are usually centered around during my cycle >.> and it's usually just something like mac & cheese or pizza, something that makes me feel comfortable but in general I can keep cravings at bay (or I just guzzle a crazy ton of water).

Hey, welcome!

So, are many of us starting school again this week/soon? Somehow I can't wait (starting on the 21st), but I'm dreading my first Organic Chemistry class already. ^^ What about you guys?

This was my last semester, I'm graduating later this month. yay. Good luck with your studies ^_^

Give it up.
You've been around longer than I have. lol

Oh, if you're vegan it's probably easy for you to stay away from sugar. The vegans I know tend to find foods with processed sugars (anything commercially packaged) to be too "sweet".

Asked about the cravings because I've been reading up on how eating a wide variety of vegetables can decrease the appetite for junk food. In the process of creating a eating plan with food exchanges, similar to what Hulse has in his Lean Hybrid Muscle program, and trying to avoid the pitfall of being too restrictive. There's a food cravings chart - found everywhere - that's giving me ideas on how to incorporate factors into my diet rather than supplementing with pills.

Btw, if you're interested in a good recipe for vegan persimmon bread, one can be found at FatFree Vegan Kitchen.

I think you can substitute other types of fruit if you want to try it out. I made it the last week of December and it tasted pretty good... considering it has been years since I've baked anything from scratch without supervision. But beware, your hand mixer will not be prepared for the consistency of that dough.

Hey guys. I am new here. From Ohio trying to sort of body build for the first time. I've put on about 10 lbs of muscle in the past 5 months and I'm really starting to take way better shape. I'm looking to make some friends on here and learn from people that are willing to talk about stuff. My personal goal is by the end of this year to hit 195 lbs without putting on a gut in the process. But anything added to my flat ass would be nice.

Cool link, I haven't had a persimmon in such a long time. And about the cravings, I've been exhibiting some in myself but i think it's really because I'm getting bored with eating vegetables the same way over and over. I've had subway, some cookies, a nice slice of pizza, some garlic knots (it was all awesome...well sorta awesome, the cookies were extremely sweet and I gagged, the subway was so-so, and another craving binge fest pretty much left me with a bathroom issue from friday night to saturday morning (it might have been the lavender kombucha I guzzled -.-)

Congrats on graduating!

Thanks! I'm excited but now trying to figure out that whole post graduation life thing with careers and whatnot.

Welcome to all the new posters in this thread

I think I may be intolerant to milk proteins because I get tummyaches every time I have dairy, including lactose-free stuff, and the pains disappear when I eliminate dairy from my diet. That sucks, because I found out a few years ago that I'm intolerant to gluten as well, and without milk and wheat I can't have what used to be some of my most favorite foods. On a positive note, after eliminating wheat from my diet a few years ago, my abdominal fat decreased and I finally got some ab definition that had eluded me for years previous. Still, I miss pizza and pasta. :/

[bhujerban]

Yep, carbs and dairy are fun. And it stinks when you cannot has.

Is it the same thing as having celiacs disease?

[sandmussel]

Is it the same thing as having celiacs disease?

The symptoms are similar, but the hypothesized mechanism is different. For gluten intolerance/sensitivity, the body views the gluten protein as an invader and fights it with inflammation both inside and outside the digestive tract. In celiac disease, the immune system doesn't mount a direct attack against gluten; instead, gluten ingestion triggers the immune system to attack your own tissue, particularly your intestinal lining. My sensitivity is not severe; I can tolerate small quantities of gluten. So one bite from a cookie won't affect me much, but a person with celiac will probably have a pronounced reaction.

[eltigar]

Thank you. I have been trying so hard.. Its just crazy


Lol thanks

Damn it I didn't know this was gay thread .
I hate when this happens.
It's like the time I accidentally went into the gay night club and thought everyone was just really friendly .

Good to meet you Brian, Paul from Niagara Falls here. Columbus, go down there to visit friends the end of every January.

Good luck with the gym, and have a feeling given the questions you're asking you wont be one of those come and go new years resolution people! Kick ass in the gym and make every workout count!

Hey everyone! =)

I'm Brian, from Columbus, Ohio! 23 years old. ~195 lbs and about 25-30% BF.

Let's just go ahead and get this out there, I'm one of those new years resolution people.

Yeah, you know them. I bet they come and go from this site like crazy. I'm going to do everything possible to not be one of them. I am tired of feeling like the average American that sits his ass in a chair, eats, and goes home and does the same thing. Everyday, slowly watching themself grow outwards and eating more because they are unhappy... because they eat too much and do nothing in the first place.

I have a gym membership now and I am trying to gather together as many resources and I can -- anything is helpful.

Anyways, I was browsing the forums and found this little gem and thought I would drop by and introduce myself and where I stand.
